BLACK SATIN WITH STRETCH – POLYESTER SATIN WITH ELASTANE – 147cm WIDE

A beautiful black polyester satin with a smooth handle, glossy sheen and elegant drape.

Featuring a deep black colour with a classic satin shine, this fabric has a sleek, dressy finish that makes it ideal for eveningwear, occasionwear, costumes, linings, accessories and decorative projects.

New To Satin?

Satin is known for its smooth surface, glossy sheen and elegant drape.

It is often used for eveningwear, occasionwear, linings, costumes, accessories and decorative projects where a more polished finish is wanted.

Satin can be a little slippery to sew, so cutting carefully, pinning well and using a finer needle can make it much easier to work with.
